How it works

Employers approach us outlining the kinds of roles they have / students they are looking for.

EDT Placements team will search the registered students’ database to find suitable matches for employers and forward relevant CV’s to the company. In some cases we will contact universities / schools for specific candidates.

The employer will identify which students they would like to interview and when.

The EDT will deal with the administration arrangements informing the student.

The employer will interview the student and decide whether they want to offer a placement to the student. If they do the EDT will relay the offer to the Student.

The EDT will assign a mentor to the student / employer.

Upon the student starting the EDT will invoice for the placement fee.

How much does it cost?

A contribution of £1,995 plus VAT helps to cover the costs of recruitment, off-the-job training, running of the scheme and support throughout the placement.
